Reviews

Easy to set up but in order to find which of the 4 channels the camera was linked to I set the receiver to loop mode between all 4 channels until the picture was shown on the tv. Turned out the picture was on channel 3. Can't get the battery clip to work though. However, it's a good picture for a little camera.

Questions

barry said:

can an alternative analog camera be plugged into the transmitter? I have some cameras I'd like to make wireless and they are probably better quality.
any issues with interference on the 2.4ghz from wireless network?

Could you use the camera to "read" a normal book and display it onto a tv screen? If displayed on a 28" 100hz screen would the filmed text be displayed on the tv magnified and clear enough for a visually-impaired person to read.
